7th
bottled!!
In the many months of neglect of Crushalicious, groovy things have been happening which is a pathetic but true reason the blog has been cobwebbed.
Fabulousness #1:
The Roussanne is bottled!!! For real, you can pop a cork and enjoy it’s fruity luciousness whenever you want (assuming, of course, you have it in the fridge). It is a delightful and very pretty white wine particularly on a hot afternoon or with sushi when in Truckee. It is currently tasting a little more fruity and less minerally than originally thought but the poor dear has only been in bottle for about two weeks so we’ll see where it goes. And, quite frankly, if it stays right where it is, I am sure we will finish off all 25 cases within a year. So, you want to know where to get some, ay? Contact Chris, Crystal, or Serena and we’ll give you the details.
Fabulousness #2:
The Sangio has been fun to blend but we had not quite settled on the final recipe. After a good racking, we did some blends with cab, sagrantino, syrah, and decided to go with a 1% cab, 2% syrah, 97% sangio and it is TASTY! Are youthful little Sangio has now become a Super Tuscan. The bright red fruits still merge but the middle palate has good weight to it and a velvety finish. The color is a lush, purply red. MMMMMM…… this is fabulous! Now that the blend is completed, we’ll be finishing up the labels (this one will be labeled two different ways) and getting it bottled.
Fabulousness #3:
The wine trio has been out and about moving around. Ice wine in tahoe perhaps? A fabulous Russian River pinot? Grapes for the next season are being purchased…
End notes:
So, if you’d like to taste what the crazy roussanne crush led to (remember the overflow of the press?!!) or the delightfully fun party that was the Sangio crush, get a hold of one of us so we can get you some bottles.
